Rise Up (ライズアップ)

I always take to the skies

whenever I feel suffocated down here.

You don't accidentally bump into anyone up there.

You don't need to close yourself off.

You don't get in anybody's way.

It's my own little world.

Like this?

Or...

like this?

You're too close there.

Go right to the edge.

But that's a cliff right there!

It's not that big of a deal. You're not going to die.

Okay, let's do it like this.

You hold this.

And fly with it.

Are you...

scared?

All you need to do is run right there.

If I had a license, I'd fly just like you, dumbass--

Chicken!

- Shut up! I'm not a chicken! - Chicken! Chicken!

- Chicken! - Stop it.

Hiroya is a chicken!

Shut up, moron!

Your spirits get higher, the higher we climb.

Time to go!

Time to go!

Just like that?!

Nice going, bird man!

I'm just a bird!

Rui, should we start practising?

Since we're here and all.

Yeah?

Is that a bird?

In the sky.

It's a paraglider.

Hey, Rui.

Let's get to it.

Rui!

I know!

Bring it to me.

Don't go anywhere.

She's gone!

Rui!

Rui!

Where did you go?

Hiroya, I'm coming down soon.

Sure, sure.

Get it on tape this time.

Yeah, yeah.

Here he is! It's time!

Come on down!

Come on, come on, come on!

Hey!

Hey, Wataru! Are you good?

I am.

Wow... it's wrecked.

It's ripped to shreds.

You've got to be kidding me...

Hey!

You!

What the hell were you doing?!

Did something happen?

Can't you tell?!

Say something!

- Hey! - Hiroya.

Seriously?

Could you not go quiet on me?

That glider...

It's the one you worked your ass off for, right?

What should I do?

You pay for it, obviously.

Replace the whole thing?

Repair it?

I guess... we repair it.

Who are you here with?

It's fine, Hiroya.

- No way! - The landing was my fault.

I was looking somewhere else.

But if that's--

I can just work some more.

I want to clean all that up, so help me out.

You're letting this go because I can't see, aren't you?!

Why are you the angry one?!

- Listen here! - Hiroya.

That isn't why I'm letting it go.

You're letting this go because I can't see, aren't you?!

Why are you the angry one?!

Hey! Listen here!

That isn't why I'm letting it go.

There you are!

I was worried about you!

I told you not to go anywhere on your own.

Apparently this isn't why.

Yeeeees!

I did it!

Wow...

Hey, did you see that?

I actually did it...

Thanks! Thank you!

Your turn!

Wataru is about to jump!

Okay, Wataru. Go for it!

Go ahead!

It's the same as paragliding!

You just hit it and go over!

Are you scared?

Come now! Hands off the camera!

You're totally scared right now!

Pipe down, you monkey.

Chicken!

That hurt, man!

Chicken!

Up, guys! Up!

You two have it backwards.

Just follow Tedorin's lead!

Come on. Do you get it?

Okay, again from the top.

What are you doing?

What?

Don't go throwing in the towel already! Get up, let's go!

Listen... amusement parks are a land of dreams for kids.

Try and think about what that means for you as an entertainer.

There's no way you're worn out yet!

What's with you? Do you think this job is a joke?

Listen to what people say to you!

You, too!

What the hell... he just whines and whines.

Gotta live with it.

That thing can just dance alone. Seriously.

Hello.

That guy is just annoying!

It's because you fan the flames.

You should just take it in stride.

Actually, why do I have to do this with you?

If this is no good, we can find easier--

Not that! There's no need for me to work, is there?!

Uh... are you looking for this?

Huh?

You're the people from before.

Wow! You're sharp.

Why are you at a place like this?

And you, too!

Did you see them?! You did, right?!

Yeah... strawberries.

What are you saying that for?

You saw, too?

I didn't!

You piss me off.

...and you're smiling?

I'm not that pissed off.

Are you here... for work?

Yeah. Thanks to a certain someone.

Must be pretty rough here.

Kind of.

There is work that pays better, you know.

What work?

You'll be my guide dogs.

We decided that if it meant we could have the glider repaired,

we would be her guide dogs.

Things around here seem like your style.

Uh... the colour is... a light beige.

As complete strangers,

we have no idea why she suggested this in the first place.

But she has a cute smile.

And I am happy to be able to help someone.

Be careful.

You good?

- I'm fine. - It's right here.

Your chair is here.

Got it?

Good?

Good.

That was fun.

Good to hear.

I could visualize the clothes just fine thanks to you.

It's a lot easier if we're around the same age.

Age?

Excuse me! Here is our braille menu. Do you need it?

Okay.

I don't need it.

Are you sure?

Excuse me, then.

You don't need that?

I can't read it well, anyway.

Oh. I see.

Are you not receiving training... or practising?

Braille isn't that easy to learn, you know.

And I've only been like this for a year.

Only a year?

It was sudden... an accident.

Just like that!

The wait is over!

Rui's something-or-other macchiato. Here you go.

I told you I didn't want caramel!

Doesn't it come with--

No, you idiot. I wanted one that doesn't have the caramel.

There isn't one.

There is! I had it here before!
